Massachusetts resident Valerie Anne Prescott has been a storyteller and
writer since she was a child, but she has only recently attempted to
have her poetry and fiction published. Valerie’s poems have appeared in
the magazine Bellowing Ark, the Wilderness House Literary Review, and in
the Lyrical Somerville feature of the The Somerville News. In Gratitude
is her first published volume of poetry. Valerie is an animal lover and
advocate for human and animal rights. She lives with five rescued pets,
cats Lily, Jack, and Molly, and dogs Goldie and Toby. Valerie is also
currently working towards the publication of her first children’s book, A
Dream for Patches or The Christmas Bear’s Wish, a story with some
sadness and longing, but also in which every spirit ultimately finds
their own path to peace and joy. She wishes these things for every Soul
in the world.
